As it turned out, Max was born a couple of days before our wedding. He was so small he fit in the palm of my husband's hand.
When we returned from our honeymoon, he had gotten a little bigger, and we were told he was the runt of the litter.
A couple weeks later the breeder advised us that Max was not going to be a "miniture" dachshund, but might actually be much bigger. She asked us if we wanted to exchange him for another piebald male that had been born several weeks later. Of course we declined, because as far as we were concerned, her was already part of our family.
We brought Max home, and needless to say, Guinness was not too thrilled with him. She picked on him, and pushed him around something awful.
Eventually she warmed up to him, and they became great friends. Maxi is the great protector, and will do whatever he can to defend him family and home.Bio:Max is the big boy in the house. He is rough and tough. But he still loves to curl up in his momma's lap.Forums Motto:Call Me "The Protector"The Groups I'm In:Doxie-Pie, The Max PackI've Been On Dogster Since:
